It's officially that time of year where all the cool things start happening in Chicago! People start to crawl out from under the rocks they have used to shelter themselves from the frigged winter, donning flower crowns, crop tops, and attending weekend festivals.

Flats Studio's galleries is one of my favorite event series that has started back up for the season. Each month, a new collection of local artists' work is showcased in the Flats Studio space , 1050 West Wilson Ave.

On April 23rd, Flats Studio showcased their third art opening of the season, Work Werq. Featuring multiple mediums of art, including a live performance, the show focused on the preconceived notions of Asian (American) identity.

Check out my gallery of photos from the evening, bellow!

I just love all things that sparkle and shine, so of course I adore the wonderful jewelry and accessories from Stella and Dot. I was so excited to hear that my dear friend Michelle of Michelle Swoons is now a Stella and Dot stylist! To debut her styling career, we threw a party!

This past weekend I invited my friends over for some personalized styling with Michelle. She showed us some of the on-point looks for fall and how to make them work for our individual styles. My favorite piece that I got to try out is the Rebel Pendant (pictured bellow). I'll take one in each color of silver, gold, and rose gold, please!

Bummed you missed the party? No problem! My link is still live, here until September 12th. Make sure you check out my other favorites, the Sahara pendant necklace and the Gilded Arrow bangle. And remember, it's never too early to start on that Christmas list!

Much Love
